After some early blue skies, the snow has come back to Kiroro. There was 5cm at the start of the day, and the current snowfall will keep topping that up.Temperatures remain consistent, with a low of -10°C. The wind is coming more from the south, so will have a little less bite than the northerly Siberian winds we usually get.

The operating hours on most Kiroro lifts have been extended by 15 minutes, which is good news for those people who like to squeeze as much skiing in as possible.
